Donatella Versace


          Versace's couture cloths have been identified with celebrities and music for decades now. But, at the same time, her style is so dramatic it can overwhelm the clothes themselves. This dress is part the collection summarizing all the elements of the Versace vision: the feminine, maybe even the ultra feminine, and the trailing, torso-cinching, bosom displaying dress created in shades of aqua, pale yellow, ice blue, powder green, quartz pink, or gold.

         This particular light-as-air couture dress is somewhat interesting. The strength of this design is its lightness, in my opinion. This dress seems to have no weight.  It is both over the top and flowy, but somehow it works. The style itself seems to come directly out of the 1980's, so I'm not sure that it would be popular today.  It is said that Donatella reserves her couture dresses for her clients.  I wonder if they would like this style today?
